This is a belated response, I'll admit, but a friend of mine asked the question "What makes one person normal and another person not normal?" I have spent the past few days mulling over that question. I mean, what DOES make someone "normal"? Is it how they dress? How they act? The people they talk to? I will attempt to answer this question in this post....attempt.

My personal thought is that whatever the majority agrees on constitutes what is normal. If the majority of people believe that one should date instead of court, then courting is considered "weird". If the majority of people don't write their own book, make a movie out of said book, wrangle their friends into said movie, and then publish said book before they are even an adult, then to do so would be thought of as "not normal". Hopefully my friend who asked the question "What is normal?" will find this (somewhat) thought-provoking. ;-)
